Sounds like fun!
These attachments do something like that ;-)

Win32SqueakMorph		simple version for 2.8 & 3.0
Win32SqueakNavMorph	Modified ProjectNavigationMorph for 3.0 only

They allow squeak windows and morphs on the desktop, seemlessly (eh...)
integrated with M$'s windows.

Several points:
- This only works with Windows 2000.
- This will bring your PC to it's knees (there is a better VM solution)...
- Mouse & painting redirection is not needed, events are automatically
passed through trasparent sections to the desktop :-)
- Squeak's display mode should be set to 8 or 16 bits, 32 doesn't seem to
work...

Enjoy,
